On 12/12/01, the door would not stay closed under power. The manual override switch located on the header had to be used and the door closed manually.

This was done but the dealer said the inside door lock was broken due to the bad actuator that was replaced under the campaign and that I needed to call Chevrolet. Later that evening, the outside door handle fell off. Chevrolet (ref. # co6273409) was called and today, over 2 months later, michael glenn of Chevrolet said that it was the owner's responsibility to have the door repaired. Yesterday, 2/27/02, the door popped open while driving down the highway even though the doors were locked and power was removed from the side door.
